Simple Birthday card for Dad

Just wanted to share a quick masculine card I made yesterday when I realized I forgot to make my Dad a card and they were on their way over to have dinner & cake.

Yikes!

I used scraps and put it together in 15 minutes.

DT project Raggedy Tear Bears

Listed on my Ebay

I have seen some really cute Raggedy Ann & Andy piecings lately and had to take a shot at it.

I had to get creative here!

I used different pieces out of 3 pattern sets from Designs on Cloud 9, some ribbon, eyelet lace, some embroidery thread & mulberry paper & the acrylic Tear Bear pattern from The Beary Scrap.

I have to say I LOVE the results.

The different sets I used from Designs on Cloud 9 are....

I took the legs from the Witches Brew pattern set, the cap, bow (to make his bow tie) & shoes from the Fall Crows Pattern set, the brim of his hat and overall from the Fall Fun Pattern set.

Now that was a challenge, but a fun one. Hope you like them.

Disguise Tom Turkey

My daughter came home with this project "Disguise Tom Turkey" so he makes it through Thanksgiving. I myself have never done this or heard of this, so being the crafty Mom.... my daughter and I looked thru Designs on Cloud9's website and we decided it would be fun to disguise Tom as Elvis Presley (well she didn't even know who he was), but I told her that no one else would have the same Turkey as her & told her who he was... she agreed and this is what we came up with.... So funny!!!

Halloween Treat Bags for the Kids

I made these little cuties for my daughters class Halloween party.

I used the Ghost peeker & lollipop from Designs on Cloud 9's Booville Pattern set.

I got the little black paper bags from AC Moore & I had my daughter write Boo! on all of them.

Good for practicing her writing. (She is in 1st grade)

I also made these for her to give out. All the kids in the class are taking the 100 book challenge so I thought what a better thing for reading then a book mark. I designed them in MyMemories Suite Digital Software, personalized for each kid & used the .png file from Designs on Cloud 9's Bookworm set. I printed them all out, cut, laminated and finished them off with a little ribbon.

If you are interested in some Digital software, I have a $10 discount off of the already low price of $39.97 & $10 for some digital goodies. You get the software and $10 in goodies for just $29.97... just use my code on my side bar - top right (the picture will take you directly to where you need to purchase the software)
